Has anyone yet figured out why they felt the need to come up with a signature ability for a shitmon, one which it can only have 50% of the time, and one which they only gave it a generation after its debut?

*a terrible signature ability

Does he get Skill Swap? If he does, then they were throwing him a bone with Stall. If not, idk.

Because they didn't think of it during Gen III?

Okay, but
>What about Sableye and only Sableye justifies it getting this ability? It's not like Regigigas where it is feasible that they thought it needed to be nerfed, because it's a shitmon
>What about Sableye justified giving it this ability only half of the time?
>>
This would be a cool ability for other faster bulky guys to fill a wobuffet role
>>
>>59363749
Didn't get it until gen 9 lmao

The only reason I can think of is for Payback, but it doesn't justify it for me

maybe there's some lore reason? or they just forgot to give it other Pokemon

>one of our shillmons is failing
>make it even worse so we can get the contrarian audience

RETARD

Sableye is my favourite but it is objectively a shitmon until Gen 5 comes along

>Sableye is making vp seethe lately

Japanese name:
>あとだし (atodashi)
>cheating at rock paper scissors by waiting for one's opponent before throwing
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E3%81%82%E3%81%A8%E3%81%A0%E3%81%97

The Pokemon type chart is based on RPS. See Fire–Water–Grass.

Sableye (and Spiritomb) was the only Pokemon without a weakness. Therefore, "cheating" the type chart.

Therefore, Atodashi/Stall is evidently, a language joke ability based on Sableye's not having a thing that beats it.

Sableye is good in Gen III.
